@Topic; i know this sounds funny, but i've been used as soundman a couple of times.... without payment though . Guess what i used?.........my 'kulumbu' HP laptop . trust me the mic picks sounds like nothing else with a noise reduction feature. and no stress is required carrying the damn thing about. just place it infront of them and you are good. na igbadun soundman.

VillageBoi:

Is that by connecting a mic to the laptop? Can you share what kind of mic?

speedyboi:
Lmao.......you are not getting me....... I don't wanna burst my bubble.

VillageBoi:
Hi ncap.

As said earlier on. You cannot get good quality sound by connecting a mic directly to a DSLR because these cameras have extremely bad pre-amps built in. What you really want is 'dual-system' sound. Capture the sound with pro mics onto a device such as a Zoom H4n or similar.

The best thing would be you guys get a pro sound guy with his own kit.

You may connect something like a 'Rode Video mic' directly to the Canon 7D but the audio captured in-camera is only good for use as a 'guide track' to sync up the pro audio recorded on set.

VillageBoi:

Ah I get you now. No way!!! lol.

ncpat:
with u boss just having power problem that`s why i`m late to reply.

speedyboi:
I don't think so

VillageBoi:

No probs. I hope that has answered your question?

ncpat: @Villageboi I will let you know the outcome later today as I will be collecting the camera by 6pm today and I will run a test using Behringer B2 MIC and a mixer connecting back to the canoe d7 if the option is there to know how the sound would be.

ncpat:
Doing some research now, oh boy e no easy oh, all I hear with D7 is using a boom mic with zoom h4 and recording on a different device

VillageBoi:

Does the Behringer take a battery? I know it's 48V Phanthom power. And what mixer are you guys using?

EDIT - The mixer has to supply the power to the mic. Did they give you cables to connect the mixer to the 7D? Let's know how the testing goes.

ncpat:
I owned the mic and mixer for my musical studio production so it has phanthom power, I will capture the sound to the mixer and mixer to the camera and transfer it to pc for edit, export it and check it out if the sound is ok before going to the field.

VillageBoi:

Can't you just capture sound to the mixer on SD cards or something and then don't bother tethering yourself to the camera? And later just sync in post.

ncpat:
That will be hell of work and nobody is paying me for all this, this is the reason why we end up messing the all thing, I tried to make my friend understand that i`m not ready yet to dive into movie production but he would`nt listen and now he has organised the cast crew so I don`t want to let him down, he is not even bothered about quality but for me I cherished quality that is why i`m going extra miles and i`m base in Gombe for now where there is no professionalism when it comes to movie production.

VillageBoi:

Ah, the dreaded no pre-prod. Good filmmaking IS hard work. Honestly if you guys are not quite 'ready' you really shouldn't do it. It will be so much more pain than gain.
Why don't you convince him to do a few shorts first, get used to the equipment, make mistakes on shorts - use it as a learning curve. Making mistakes on a feature is very costly and not worth it.

sheyma: @village. Boi. Is. D panasonic P2 good for shooting very clear HD images

ncpat:
Do u have this sound effect called designer sound fx from Andrew Cramer of video copilot? don`t know where I kept mine or probably I have formatted the disk I copied it on.
